The Miyota movement, developed by Citizen Watch Co. in Japan, is renowned for its precision engineering and dependable performance. It’s a quartz movement — meaning it relies on a battery to power a quartz crystal that vibrates at an exact frequency, ensuring near-perfect timekeeping.
What sets Miyota apart is its commitment to refinement. These movements are engineered to use less energy, withstand daily shocks, and maintain accuracy across a range of environments. Their reputation for reliability makes them a favorite among designers and watchmakers around the world.
Miyota’s innovation extends beyond accuracy — each movement is thoughtfully created for specific watch types. Whether for a minimalist three-hand timepiece or a sophisticated chronograph, the engineering is tailored to meet the function and design intent.
At Nordgreen, the Miyota movement plays a crucial role in bringing our minimalist aesthetic to life. The slimness of this movement allows us to craft refined, elegant cases — like the Native and Unika collections — where clean lines and balance take center stage.
For more complex designs, such as the Pioneer Chronograph, Miyota’s chronograph movement ensures precision and reliability while maintaining the sleek silhouette our customers expect. Every tick is a reflection of the collaboration between Japanese engineering and Scandinavian design sensibility.
